I stopped by the other day after failing to find a different restaurant in the area. I was seated in a comfortable armchair in a table right by the window (and it was a quite nice day outside). They even had a newspaper for me to read. I ordered the cajun chicken pizza. Now, normally I don't depart from my old standby: pepperoni. Unfortunately, that wasn't on the menu, and nothing else really jumped out at me.The pizza crust was tasty and crispy but not burnt. I'd rate it better than Pizza Expre
I ordered the cajun chicken pizza. Now, normally I don't depart from my old standby: pepperoni. Unfortunately, that wasn't on the menu, and nothing else really jumped out at me.
The pizza crust was tasty and crispy but not burnt. I'd rate it better than Pizza Express, and pretty high up there just in general. 9/10
The sauce was Romesco rather than tomato sauce. I typically think "Spanish" when I hear "Romesco" but apparently it's also a cajun thing. I thought it was pretty good. 7/10
There was one large-ish slice of chicken per slice of pizza. The chicken was tender and flavorful. 8/10
Also, the pizza actually had some spice to it-- effected, it seems, by a liberal use of crushed red pepper (and I added some more myself).
If you're looking for a cheesy, greasy, sloppy slice of pizza (and I often am), this isn't really the place to go. It's higher-end fancy stuff. Still, it's good for what it is. I wish the pizza selection were larger. I will say that you get more pizza for less money than Pizza Express (comparing my last two trips, $135 at wildfire and $180 at PE), and the atmosphere is nicer. Overall: 8/10
